Applicatipn filed May 7, 1915. 7 Serial No. 26,5583

To all whom it mag concern:

Be it known that we, MALCOLM MCINTYRE" and JOHN FnonLI-N, both citizens. of the and residing, re county, and State of of Bayonne, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey; have invented a certain new and useful,

United States of America, spectively, in thecity, N ew York, and in the city Improvement in Receptacles, of which'the following 1s a speclficatlon.

Our invention relates to receptacles and particularly to receptacles adapted for the)" collection of ashes,g'arbage and other mate- 21 p n' utward movement of rials, thefobject of OHT-lIlVBIltlOD being to provideareceptacle of this type into which.

2. As the canzis tilted down again, the lid 26 closes "simultaneously with the gate 23 Y opening'cf the gateiQB and; both hang down and both can 15 and receptacle 10 are thus closed at the moment the emptied can is removed from the receptacle. The escape of dust is thus substantially prevented. It will be noted that the fill opening 1% is substantially central of the receptacle 10 so that the latter may be filled to its capacity without the necessity for distributing therein the dumped contents of the cans.

On the discharge of the receptacle 10 its lid 11 swings open by gravity in the direction indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1. Since the hood section 19 would tend to swing in toward the interior of the receptacle during this movement, it is advisable to provide means for holding the same in fixed position during dumping. Any suitable means may be employed for this purpose, such as an eye 27 on the hood section engaged by a hook 28 on the stationary inclined top 24c of the receptacle.

In Figs. 5 and 6 we have shown a modification in which the protecting hood is entirely stationary. In this construction, the receptacle 38 is provided with a hinged lid 39 having a fill aperture 10 and protective hood 41 extending upward around three sides of the aperture. At the top of the side 42 is pivoted the gate 43 counterweighted at 4% to normally remain in the closed position shown in Fig. 5. A lifting platform 45 is pivoted at 16 and the can 15 of the type shown in Fig. 4, rests upon this platform after it is lifted from the ground, the hinge 46 forming a stop limiting its inward movement. Lifting handles 47 may be provided at the sides of which the latter, with the can in position thereon, may be tilted upward to discharge its contents into the receptacle 38. The weight of the refuse in the can opens the gate 13 against the action of its counterweight at and falls into the receptacle 38 in obvious manner. In discharging position the cover 26 opens by gravity into the fill aperture 10 of the receptacle. The can is prevented from entering the receptacle by the impingement of its edge hinge of the gate 43, in like manner as 1n the construction shown in Figs. 1 to 3. In case the door at?) is thrown beyond the vertical position, a spring 4.9 may be provided to swing it back beyond the vertical, whereupon its counterweight 4 1 serves to close it.

Various modifications of the construction shown will readily suggest themselves which do not depart from what we claim as our invention.

We claim as our invention 1. In apparatus of the type described, a receptacle having a fill opening, a hood pivoted at said opening, said hood having a bottom on which a can may be temporarily supported on its side, and having also wing parts extending upward from the bottom the platform by means of 48 against the and between which the dumping end of the can lies in dump position, for the purpose described.

2.

7. In apparatus of the type described, a receptacle having a hinged lid, a fill opening in the latter, a hood pivoted at said fill opening, a gate carried by said hood and normally closing the fill opening, said gate automatically opening on the dumping of a can into the receptacle through said fill opening.

8. In apparatus of the type described, a receptacle having a hinged lid, a fill opening in the latter, a hood at said fill opening and having a fixed section and a telescopic pivoted section cooperating therewith, a gate carried by said telescopic section and normally closing the fill aperture, said gate automatically opening on the dumping of a can into the receptacle through said fill opening.

9. In apparatus of the type described, a receptacle having a hinged lid, a fill opening in the latter, a hood arranged at said fill opening and having a pivoted section adapted to form a support for a can during the dumping of its contents through said fill opening, a gate carried by said hood section and normally closing the fill opening, said gate automatically opening on the dumping of the can into the receptacle through said fill opening.

10. In apparatus of the type described, a receptacle having a hinged lid, ing in the latter, a hood arranged at said fill opening and having a pivoted section adapted to form a support for a can during the dumping of its contents through said fill opening, a gate carried by said hood section and normally closing the fill opening, said gate being pivoted at the upper portionof said hood section and automatically opening by gravity on the swinging of said hood section during the lip-tilting of the can to discharge its contents through said fill opening and closing on the lowering of the can after it has been emptied.

a fill open- 11. In apparatus of the type described, a receptacle having a top fill opening, a hood at said opening, an upwardly inclined section leading to said opening, a supporting member normally resting on said inclined section and pivoted at the margin of the fill opening and upon which the side of a barrel 1S temporarily supported, said supporting member moving with the barrel on the uptilting of the latter for discharge.

12. In apparatus of the type described, a receptacle having a top fill opening, a hood at said opening, a gate pivoted at the upper portion of the hood and normally closing the fill opening; an upwardly inclined section leading to said opening, a supporting member normally resting on said inclined section and pivoted at the margin of the fill opening and upon which the side of a barrel is temporarily supported, said supporting member moving with the barrel on the Lip-tilting of the latter for discharge.
